    Just a quick question on this. So, if I deposit £100 into this ISA in the new tax year, does the £100 that Orbis give you count towards the annual allowance. In other words, I pay £100, Orbis give me £100, and I have £19,800 left to invest in ISAs in the financial year. Is that right?

    Yes...........

    Unfortunately Yes

    I say unfortunately as it is not classed as cashback

    T&Cs

    Matched investments made into a New ISA Account, or New JISA Account will be made in the 2018/19 tax year and will count towards the annual ISA or JISA allowance for that tax year.
  • Shame it does not cover general investments this time, would have chucked in another couple of hundred for us both. Guess they want to try and avoid punters like me :cool:

    If your subscribing with new money, then I presume you can't subscribe to another S&S ISA in this tax year.

    Additionally, if you have already subscribed new money to a S&S ISA this tax year, you can't use any remaining allowance to subscribe to this

    You could transfer any amount of a previous years subscription to this. But if you want to transfer current years subscription, you need to close the ISA your transferring from

    This might make it complicated or even unfeasible for some to make, particularly for just a £100 subscription

    You are correct. You also can't subscribe to another S&S ISA next year either
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    The important question, for those considering replacing say a £100/month direct debit to Vanguard with this after 6 April for that tax year only (can be transferred back to Vanguard in 12 months time) is whether Orbis take regular contributions as direct debits???

    If you know what I mean....

    Orbis don't take direct debits but you can pay by debit card or setup a standing order with your bank.

    according to the FAQ section you can set up a monthly plan on your account page but think its using a debit card

    This question relates to both Orbis and Vanguard ISAs

    Could I open up Orbis ISA before 5 April, deposit 100 to get the bonus, and then open Vanguard ISA after 5 April and contribute to both over the next tax year as long as I don't go over the 20k ISA limit?

    On the vanguard account, I note that the monthly amount is £100, or £500 lump sum, but I want a little more flexibility with my deposits. I'm looking at maxing out my LISA first during the next tax year and then depositing left over money into the S&S ISA. Maybe a single S&S with Orbis would be better for me? I see the minimum investment with Orbis is £1. What is the minimum monthly payment?

    Thanks!
